  1. What about Joe Jacobs at #1 Richard Andrews. Cat Mason is only 6.8 or9 so can't be number 1. I think they could regret letting Kelsey go
  2. Has RTD gone back to NZ for the winter? Practise out there and then back to the club he is owned by should do him some good. Good top 5 just a shame it's got half the riders I wanted on my team in it.
  3. to be honest I do post a lot of crap but occasionally something I post isn't. Anyway back to the Rye topic now eh?
  4. Me not being a Mildenhall fan I just occasionally check in on your website when Eastbourne are about up there. and I was just telling the person that said "nothing on the website" that theirs is slower than some of the others! And don't worry I don't spend my life on here I just have a thing called a phone that lets me check this when I get a spare moment which surprisingly probably like you is rarely! There were no facts in my post I just stated that the website isn't like some of the other clubs and social media is the best source of information. I'm sorry that I have caused upset with my post and I know every speedway team runs on volunteers. I post in a sarcastic way sometimes By the way I am surprised... A speedway fan WITH a life? Geez what next aye?
  5. Yes, the Cradley, Birmingham, Eastbourne, Stoke, Buxton, KL and Coventry websites are all decent. and I was just saying for the person who said that there wasn't anything on the website that they don't update it as often as some clubs do....
  6. Thats what I was thinking. if your quoting me I was talking about hopwood if not don't make me laugh
  7. The only ones I can think of is Ben and Brad. Ben has been announced Brad won't be allowed back. Unless it's sarcasm
  8. Bacon is going close to home so Brum or cradley
  9. Their website is notoriously rubbish....
  10. It's probably got more use than any of your posts ever have mind you, you did say something creditable in the IOW thread well done
  11. I wouldn't make a judgement until he has ridden. Connor wouldn't sign someone that will go nowhere. Even if he was not so good at the practise he hasn't had dugards help yet. I'll let you know what I think after good Friday as I think he has some potential
  12. After reading that I'd put George in at number 6 or 7. I hope if one of the reserves does under perform you put him in the team.
  13. Sounds like you have a scratch on your record
  14. Oh come on you were just excited....
  15. sounds like we have to wait for the pig racing to finish.....
  16. Ellis been around longer than Brad.... So Brad still can improve more than ellis
  17. Buxton said he was having a shoulder operation so wouldn't be lining up
  18. When was that? He's only been riding a year and not properly so let's give him a chance, better than strudwick I expect
  19. Eagles swoop for Phillips IT First Eagles are hoping they have found another 'coup' in the signing of Ex-motocrosser Nick Phillips. The popular new boy in Speedway has attracted a lot of attention from rival clubs. But Phillips turned those offers down as he had his heart set on racing for Eastbourne. 'I've recently been signed by Somerset after they had seen me ride on their training days I've had offers from other clubs but Eastbourne is where I want to be after talking to quite a few people all the arrows point back to Eastbourne". "As soon as Connor messages me I replied 100% yes mate I'd love to ride for you guys!" "I have raced motocross all of my life since the age of 4. Last year I fancied a change so I sold both of my motocross bikes and invested in a speedway bike. I did a bit of training last winter but with the bad weather I wasn't getting the track time I wanted. So I waited until later on in the year when I started riding for Exeter in the MDL matches scoring well. I've only been riding speedway a year really!" Connor, 21 club co-director who builds the teams says he thinks Nicks got what it takes. "Look at Georgie last year. We were given a lot of stick saying you shouldn't chuck an unknown into a team - how he proved them wrong!" "I've done my research and Nicks doing a second slower than Brad was round Somerset and that's Nick riding on a slicker track. He has a good pedigree about him." "I like to think at Eastbourne we get the best out of our riders. You only have to look at their start and finish averages from last year, we won three trophies in our first campaign the team spirit was excellent and everyone loved it we were like one big family to be honest and I don't think any other team in the league came close to showing that. I believe Nick will excel in that environment!" "Admittedly it's been tough choosing a side this year. Last year I had a few mates whereas this year there are so many riders that are my mates. As well as that I'd say I've had 25 riders ask me to race for Eastbourne this year so I've had to turn down 18 people!" "With my Dad (Martin) experience in set ups and knowledge around the track. The bikes we have at our workshop we will always be there for whoever needs it and the boys know that! We just can't wait for the weather to dry up so we can get practicing!"
